Optimized collaboration between 48 companies of the Schréder group

2017. 11. 29.

Optimized collaboration between 48 companies of the Schréder group

Employing some 2,500 members of staff in some 40 countries, Schréder is a Belgian family-run group leading the outdoor lighting solutions field. The company illuminates such prestigious sites as the Brussels Grand-Place, the Coliseum in Rome, the Champs-Élysées in Paris or the Channel Tunnel. Through innovative lighting solutions, Schréder contributes to the construction of Smart Cities around the world.

Schréder Portal for Operating Together

To anticipate its customer's needs better, Schréder has to produce its own ‘smarter’ IT systems. In this respect, the priority of the IT department is to consolidate the very disparate information systems to achieve truly unified IT management at a group level. In addition to standardizing 27 different ERP systems, one of the top priorities is the implementation of a company-wide Enterprise Content Management solution.

Schréder has placed its trust in delaware as a strategic partner for this ECM cluster, as part of a project called SPOT (that stands for Schréder Portal for Operating Together). Based on Microsoft Sharepoint 2013 and Sharepoint Online, this solution, which is now operational and constantly evolving, aims to facilitate the collaboration between all the company employees, spread across 48 companies around the world. It allows file sharing and collaborative project management.

A ‘group’ image

Schréder is pleased that this SPOT project is contributing to building a ‘group’ image, which increases the attractiveness of the company where everyone tends to work at a local level. Now, searching for information from another entity in the group can be found in a few clicks. Each employee feels much better … enlightened in their everyday work.
